* FashionModel: Ren is one of the top male models in all of Japan, so Kyoko turns to him for advice on what else but modeling. Why? Because Kyoko needed to create a version of Natsu that looked and acted like a naturally charismatic leader - something she was having trouble with, especially when the director pointed out that her posture was too proper and her mannerisms were too stiff to fit in with the "average teenage girls" that made up Natsu's clique. Kyoko decides that she has to create a Natsu with an attitude and bearing other girls would naturally want to emulate, and the best way to do that is to model Natsu's mannerisms on fashion models.

Edited Description, Added "Reaching Towards the Audience" to Tropes List


As filming on ''Box "R"'' proceeds, Kyoko learns a bit about Chiori's past and pieces together a dark secret that Chiori would prefer stay in the past. But things come to a boil when Chiori learns that, in addition to being featured on ''Japonet Scope'' before Chiori, Kyoko has ''another'' regular role on a TV show (never mind that it's as a [[EmbarrassingAnimalSuit giant chicken]]). Kyoko is used to dealing with her own demons, but how will she fare against someone else's?

Edited Spelling and Grammar


* TheMakeover: Kyoko's makeover for the role of Natsu is subtle but effective: she parts her hair to the side and smooths it down a bit, accessorizes with Princess Rosa, and makes generous use of the nice cosmetics that Moko gave her as a birthday present. But the biggest change is in her personality and comportment. "Kyoko" is proper and unfailingly polite, to the point that her costart refer to her as "plain udon." But "Natsu" is naturally poised and elegant, with an affected personality as if nothing that happens can phase her nor pique her interest.

Addition of "Girlish Pigtails" to Trope List

Added DiffLines:

* GirlishPigtails: Disappointed in how Chiori has changed her look to fit in with the more "mature" Natsu, the director calls for a stylist to put her hair up in pigtails to have Yumika be the "cute" one in the group again. Chiori refuses to go for full-on pigtails (because of the [[EveryScarHasAStory scar on her neck]]) so they compromise and give her [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/skip-beat/images/a/ad/Amamiya_chiori.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100914073013 half-pigtails]] with some hair left hanging down to cover her neck.

!! This volume contains the chapters:

* Act 127. "Private Exit" [[note]]Kyoko is having trouble inhabiting the role of Natsu for ''Box "R"''. She visits Ren to ask for some modeling advice.

* Act 128. "Switchover" [[note]]Chiori is caught up anticipating the result of her sabotage on Kyoko, but she's also hiding a secret.

* Act 129. "Slow Burning War" [[note]]Kyoko's in full "Natsu" mode now. Chiori delights in the prospect of Kyoko getting chewed out by the director.

* Act 130. "Reversal" [[note]]"Natsu" suggests that if she can't find her uniform's ribbon then Honami, Yuka, and Chiori ought to go without to match her.

!!Chapters in this volume provide examples of:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Chiori acts polite and humble around her manager, her coworkers, and the director, but in reality she's seething with barely contained rage. She writes all of her true feelings in her "Poisonous Notebook," but Kyoko's appearance is causing some of that poison to seep out into the real world.
* EmbarrassingAnimalSuit: Kyoko's job as Bo the Chicken on ''Yappa Kimagure Rock'' requires her to wear a large chicken suit.
* EveryScarHasAStory: Chiori has a minor outburst when the director asks the stylist on the set of ''Box "R"'' put her hair up. Kyoko learns from Honami and Yuka that Chiori has a bad burn scar on the back of her neck. Later on Kyoko overhears from the members of Bridge Rock that a decade ago, child actress on the set of a movie called ''The Scarlet Dice'' also got a burn scar on the back of her neck...
* FairyTaleMotiff: The [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/skip-beat/images/e/ea/Chapter_127.png/revision/latest?cb=20140920143044 title page for chapter 127]] shows Kyoko as [[Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]], with Ren and Yashiro as two of the seven dwarfs.

* FlowerMotifs: It's a [[ShoujoDemographic shoujo]] managa after all:
** The title page for chapter 127 depicts Kyoko as Snow White on a bier overgrown with roses.
** The title page for chapter 132 shows an extreme closeup of Kyoko surrounded by hibiscus flowers and cherry blooms. Hibiscuses symbolize the fleeting nature of beauty, fame, or personal glory.
** Most chapters have a few instances of panel backgrounds filling with unexplained flowers.

* ShowWithinAShow: ''Box "R"'', ''Dark Moon'', ''Yappa Kimagure Rock'', and ''The Scarlet Dice'' are type 1 examples, with "characters involved in the production of the show(s)."
* StockShoujoBullyingTactics: Honami and Yuka continue their campaign of bullying Kyoko when they decide to mess with her costume for ''Box "R"'' by stealing the ribbon off her school uniform. Later, a furious Chiori rips up the nametag on Kyoko's dressing room door. Kyoko is unimpressed, even leaving Chiori a note to "try harder" on her next attempt.
* ThoseTwoGirls: Honami Makino and Yuka Sudo, two of Kyoko's costars in ''Box "R"''. They're almost always seen together and seem to know each other outside of work. They're also united in their efforts to bully Kyoko, at least before her total reinvention of Natsu's character.
